Barcelona continues its push to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season and, in addition to searching for attacking reinforcements, is now exploring options to bolster the back line. According to ESPN, Arsenal defender Piero Hincapié is once again on the radar of the Catalan giants.

The 24-year-old Ecuadorian international only joined the London club from Bayer last summer, but his future at the Emirates remains a topic of speculation. In light of this, the Blaugrana management has already requested information regarding his situation and the potential terms of a future transfer.
